Chapter 61: One-way branch

“It’s not like you’re the only one who pre-ordered; of course you have to queue!”

The teller glared at the burly man impatiently, waving his hand, “Move aside a bit, don’t block the people behind you.”

“You f*cking!”

Upon hearing this, the burly man’s temper immediately flared up.

He slammed his hand on the counter and shouted, “I spent 200,000 to pre-order two skill books, and I still have to queue! Not only that, but I’m twenty-seventh in line!”

“If you don’t want it, plenty of others do!” the teller said calmly.

“…”

The burly man was immediately rebuffed.

When the teller said that before, he chose “yes,” and now he was saying it again…

“I don’t want it!”

“Refund my money!”

The teller sneered, “The deposit is non-refundable!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a battle-axe appeared in the burly man’s hand, and his eyes turned blood-red.

“Do you believe I’ll kill you?!”

The teller immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

“Re… refund! I’ll refund it right away…”

“…”

This scene made Wei Kai laugh.

The previously arrogant teller, upon seeing the burly man’s rage, immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, instantly turning into a clown.

This was too amusing.

However, it was fortunate that he knelt quickly enough; the burly man didn’t actually strike, and no damage was caused.

Otherwise, he would likely have been taken away by the Inner Affairs Group immediately.

A moment later, the burly man took his bank card and left dejectedly.

Before leaving, he kept looking back at the counter, seemingly regretting his impulsive decision.

He shouldn’t have asked for a refund.

Having offended the staff in the Guild, how would he buy skill books in the future?

“Next.”

Just then, the teller’s call came.

Wei Kai was slightly stunned, not expecting the teller to recover so quickly.

Then he realized he was being called.

“Do you still have Chain Strike?” he stepped forward and asked.

“Yes!”

Phew…

Hearing this, Wei Kai finally breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully…

Fortunately, Chain Strike wasn’t a popular skill, so not many people were rushing to buy it.

“I’ll take one.”

“Two hundred thousand.”

“This also increased in price?”

Wei Kai immediately looked up and asked.

“If you don’t want it…”

“I’ll take it!”

Before the other party could finish speaking, Wei Kai readily agreed, then pulled out his bank card.

A minute later, the skill book was in hand, and Wei Kai learned it on the spot.

It was just a pity he couldn’t get Crippling Strike; he still had some regrets.

There was nothing he could do; this skill was simply too popular.

Any Warrior would learn this skill, after all, the Crippled status was truly a divine skill!

No matter how powerful a boss was, if it got Crippled, it would truly become Crippled.

“How about… I farm for them myself?”

Wei Kai suddenly thought.

Since it was so popular, even pre-orders required queuing, which indicated a huge business opportunity.

Farming a few hundred copies to sell in his own shop would quickly lead to financial freedom.

“It’s decided!”

Wei Kai nodded to himself.

After buying the skill, he went to another side of the Warrior Guild.

This was the Job Change Hall, specifically responsible for Warrior job change matters.

After clearing the Mount Huaguo Secret Realm, Wei Kai’s level had already risen to twenty, granting him the qualification for his first job change.

However, he still hadn’t decided on his first job change direction.

Warrior was the combat profession with the most first job change branches.

According to the five-dimensional attributes, each attribute had several first job change professions.

For example, the full-strength Berserker, the full-agility Swift Shadow Warrior, the Mystic Knight focusing on magic power, the War Knight focusing on spirit, and the Pure Tank Warrior focusing on constitution.

Besides these extreme professions, there were also more balanced professions, such as the Swordsman with dual strength and agility, the Magic Warrior with dual strength and magic, and the Blade and Shield Bearer with dual strength and constitution.

So many professions were dazzling and overwhelming.

Most people couldn’t distinguish which profession was better.

And because the highest-level Warriors among humans currently were only in their eighties, far from reaching the peak of their professions, it was impossible to determine which profession had more potential and a brighter future.

Under various reasons, the current first job change branch selection was more like a gamble.

Gambling on one’s own vision and judgment of future trends.

Of course, not everyone had such vision, so most people chose their first job change based on their interests.

Because of this, most Warriors did not allocate their attribute points at low levels.

Only when they reached level twenty and determined their future profession branch would they allocate points and then challenge the job change quest.

Wei Kai had already allocated all his points to strength early on, so his focus naturally fell on branches related to the “Strength” attribute.

There were more than a dozen job change branches related to strength.

Wei Kai pondered over it and finally set his sights on two branches: the full-strength Berserker and the Swordsman with dual strength and agility.

The Berserker was known for its attack power, sacrificing defense and survival for extreme output.

Whether it was clearing Secret Realms, dungeons, or fighting bosses, the Berserker was the absolute core of damage output, the kind that deserved the protection of the entire team.

But correspondingly, the Berserker was also a profession that walked on the line of death, with the possibility of dying if one wasn’t careful.

Therefore, it was also the first job change profession with the highest death rate.

Compared to the Berserker, the Swordsman sacrificed some output for decent speed and flexibility.

In terms of flexibility, although not as good as the full-agility Swift Shadow Warrior and another profession, the Assassin, it was already sufficient for dodging skills and ensuring survival.

Moreover, the Swordsman had one major highlight: fast attack speed and high attack frequency.

Extremely high attack speed, combined with some special effect equipment, could still deal extremely high damage.

“This is it.”

After much deliberation, Wei Kai finally settled on the “Swordsman” branch.

Although his weapon wasn’t a long sword, who said a Swordsman couldn’t use a staff?

With the Internal Injury status, the Golden Cudgel was also top-tier special effect equipment, alright.

After selecting his first job change branch, Wei Kai once again came to the job change counter.

“I want to receive a job change quest.”

“Which profession?”

“Swordsman.”

“Here!”

The teller quickly handed over a card with the words “Swordsman” written on it.

“Go find the Job Change Stone to receive the quest and complete the job change.” With that, the teller waved his hand.

After receiving the card, Wei Kai turned and left, quickly arriving at a room deep within the hall.

Here was a giant red stone, two people high, called the Job Change Stone.

It was said that this stone, along with several other stones, fell from the sky when the game first descended into reality.

The other stones were the Awakening Stone, which allowed mortals to change jobs, the Respec Stone, which allowed attribute resets, and the Teleportation Stone, which allowed travel between major cities.

Wei Kai had already seen the “Awakening Stone” during his first job change.

Now, he was about to see the second stone.

Which was the Job Change Stone!
